BYC Genetic/Breed Calculator Huge Task Ahead!

[Rose Quartz]

Well I'll have them if we need them.
What else do we still need to complete in the genetics area?
All the plumage crosses?

yeah, probably. I think the plumage bases, have been looked through. I haven't actually been following the genetics behind the feathers, so I'm not really sure.

I need to sit down and actually get a clean copy of the egg color possibilities.

I think the way I had it started is just confusing, and needs to be adjusted to be easier to read.

When I catch the time, I can start back up on this. Right now in life, I am busy.

I just went and looked at my spreadsheet, I'm about 1/3 done with the possible out comes. It actually is put together as cleanly as I can imagine doing it. Maybe there is a better way, but there are over 500 combinations and this is the best way I can come up with.

I'm pretty busy IRL too. I'll have to find a day where I can just sit with a pot of coffee and get through it at some point. I've gotta re-make my egg shell color chart too since that died along with my old computer.

Hi guys,

I started working on a dialogflow app (google assistant voice) as a portal to a chicken calculator.
How would/could one word the following question?
What are the genes of my chicken?
Goal of this question is to start the dialog and to get the gender of the chicken.

What are all the synonyms for rooster and hen?

How would one describe the color of a chicken?
my hen is a ...

From the words given here I would have to deduce the color aspects of that chicken

common misspellings

at the end of the dialog you would know the genotype of your chicken (as far as can be deduced) and I could link it to a calculator, eg the one this thread is about

thanks in advance for all suggestions

Maybe...
What happens if I mix/cross two different breeds of chicken?
If I mix/cross my chickens what will I get?
What kind of mixes/crosses can I get from different chicken breeds?
What kinds of hybrids can I get from my chickens?

Are we still going with real pictures of chickens?
I can go around to several APA/ABA sanctioned shows throughout the spring/summer to get photos if we need them. I'll be taking them for my own purposes anyway.

(Not everyone wants pictures of their chickens on the internet without their permission. I think it's better to have people give pictures of their birds to you.)



Anyways, one question. What modifiers turn a gold duckwing into the dark brown coloration in Leghorns?

Possibly the dark brown gene?

Possibly the dark brown gene?

Nope. That makes it black tailed.
I don't know why they call it that.

Hmmmm.
Try the pattern gene??

Light brown leghorns are e+
Dark brown leghorns are eb
There's no db, pg, etc in play.

What darkens them? And prevents the pattern from showing up?
They look like duckwing to me!
